A quick look at value for everyday purchases in the UK. Mostly from Pound shops, Home Bargains, Aldi/Lidl etc

Cupboard Handles (128mm) £1.19 Home Bargains : Buy !!!
4 quality cupboard handles (128mm hole distance).
£1.19 Home Bargains.
Chrome Effect.
Brand : 'Status'
Screws included
Conclusion :
Quality bargain for 128mm size handles.
Probably can't be beat.
Comments :
I doubt this price will be beaten.
I couldn't see any similar quality/price in the usual places (e.g. Poundland)
Example : 6 simlar handles in BM Stores for around £7 ?
It looks like Home Bargains always have these in stock rather than being an overstock sale.
May not be available at every store..
I only saw 128mm (no other size)
Buying cupboard handles :
Measure the distance between the screw fittings. In this case 128mm (quite long).
Most new types won't require screwing into the wood.
They will have tightening screws like this set.

Aldi : Cheap Gas Lift Bar Stool £17.99
Cheap gas lift bar stool
Aldi £17.99
Why buy ?
Similar stools in competitor stores are dearer
examples :
B&M (with backrest) : around £34
The Range : around £35-£45 ?
Spec details :
'Brand' name : Home Creation
Comment :
I presume there's not much quality difference in the versions of the cheap end of the gas lift bar stool market.
So if you are looking out for one, check when Aldi have some in store as they look a bargain.
As usual with Aldi/Lidl, you need to wait until they are avvailable.
I bought one from B&M with a backrest but find the backrest awkward. I would probably prefer the Aldi one without back support.
Verdict (having not bought) :
If you are looking out for a seat like this, Aldi would seem a 1st choice as it might be the cheapest.
Aldi/Lidl tend to put such things on sale in a cyclical basis. Maybe 2 or 3 times a year.

I see this offer quite often in Tesco.
£2 for a box of Bassetts Jelly Babies., Liquorice Allsorts, Wine Gums.
They don't seem to taste as good as I remember.
But I doubt price can be beaten even by Home Bargains.

Seems to be a 'Stir Your Senses' price war going on between the big supermarkets.
The others are reduced to around £2.
Tesco seems the cheapest at £1.50.
